Modulation of blood flow following excision of a high-flow cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Case report.
The authors present a case in which a large high-flow arteriovenous malformation was totally excised. The success of the operation was in part attributed to the prevention of hyperperfusion breakthrough phenomena by the use of Selverstone clamps on the cervical carotid artery. Monitoring of cortical blood flow during surgery was found to be helpful.
